ICPC and Immigration Service Join Forces Against Corruption
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has partnered with the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Borno State Command to address illegal migration through Borno borders. This collaboration aims to combat corruption in the travel document process to prevent undocumented migrants from entering Nigeria.
A sensitization meeting was held in Maiduguri on Wednesday, where Linu Gubbi, the ICPC resident anti-corruption commissioner for Borno and Yobe states, emphasized the need for immigration personnel to uphold accountability and transparency in their duties. Gubbi noted that the partnership focuses on studying areas within the immigration system prone to corrupt practices.
The meeting highlighted the importance of immigration personnel conducting their affairs ethically to reduce unemployment and terrorism in the country. Umar Ahm, the Comptroller of Immigration Service for Borno State Command, praised the ICPC for promoting transparency and accountability in Nigeria's public and private sectors.
